Thank you sir for confirming what I suspected. At the risk of hijacking my own bulletin board string, is there a way to set up the clipboard so that the map remains stationary and the airplane icon transits across the mapboard vs the mapsheet moving under the icon? I thought I saw an option to do that some months ago but now I have been unable to find how to do it on the bulletin board or the AH web site. Again thank in advance for the help. WarHorse
